I came across this today, unusual to find in Canada I think -
I have no idea of the value of it, one sold on IMA, but no price shown so whether I over paid or broke even I have
little idea.
I find it interesting and quite like the dating of it. Rather new subject matter to me as I only
have a WW1 3" Stokes type and a WW2 2" Canadian example. Everything about it is dated for 1939 which with what
little I know would be standard for these with a limited manufacturing period. Everything disassembles and it is
all quite empty and inert.
